The decisions retailers make – including which products they put on shelf, how they design and position their own brands, and what their sourcing policies and standards require – may be the most powerful force in the food system. At the same time, retail is a tight-margins, price-conscious industry that’s ultimately responsible for making healthy food accessible to their customers.
In the midst of growing global disruption – resurgent pandemic, war and conflict, intensifying climate change – and accelerated regulatory pressures (from the EU and SEC), retailers must innovate with their ecosystems to feed people and have a net-positive impact on health, society, and the planet.
HowGood and the New Hope Network invite industry leaders to tackle these issues in their own company in the context of a curated bias for action, peer-to-peer learning environment. Instead of another series of “webinars” and endless multi-stakeholder dialogues, you will bring real business situations to each session and work creatively with peers to unlock unique-to-your company solutions.
The Retailer Innovation Working Group will include six virtual sessions, a hybrid event at Expo East 2022, and a bonus, in-person event at Expo West 2023. Please note that there is a nominal fee of $500 per person to participate in the series – primarily so that you have a bit of skin in the game and commit to engaging fully.
To request an invitation to join the working group, please provide the requested information below and we will be in touch. Please email
innovation@howgood.com with any questions.
